Adverts by Project Wonderful

Hey, adverts can be pretty annoying, right? I know how it is; I don't like it when I'm browsing a site and I accidentally trigger an awful flash ad where a big, freakish iPhone starts singing at me. That's why here on the Let's Play Archive we'll only ever serve up nice banners that behave properly.

The Archive is a personally-funded hobby, and without donation/advert revenue we won't be able to keep it going. Please, if you enjoy the site, consider adding us to your AdBlock whitelist—it really does make a difference.

Introduction

DR Studios posted:

Youre the new girl in town and it seems that everywhere you look there are boys! Sporty boys, funny boys, talented boys, good looking boys, intense boys, nerdy boys
Pluck up the courage to talk to them and get to know them, see if they have the same interests as you, dress up to look your best, get invited out on dates, talk to your friends at school and spill all the juicy gossip, learn whos in and whos out.

High School Dreams is an RPG/Social sim about the high school life of a new girl at Charm Springs who, over the course of the school year, tries to get a ~cute boy~ ask her to prom. High School Dreams was originally developed by Eidos Interactive. After merging with Square Enix, however, Eidos dropped the project, leaving it in the hands of co-developer DR Studios (makers of such hits as the Dragons' Den Official Game app, and Risk II: Even Riskier).

DR Studios funded the project to completion, but Eidos' earlier retraction led IGN and other horrible review sites to classify the game as "cancelled" pre-emptively. The game was released as a digital download on Green Man Gaming in 2010.

I, Dyslexiactic, will be your host as we navigate the terrifying halls of high school. I think High School Dreams should be seen by the world because of its horribly stereotypical writing, bad programming, and full voice acting. Although I have never completed a game, I genuinely believe I have played more High School Dreams than anyone. Ever.

Joining me on live co-commentary will be my flatmate, who asks to be called Proximal Chocolate Proxx Choxx and definitely not David.

We will present the game as a VLP with main updates following our created character's storyline. High School Dreams contains several mini-games, which I will demo briefly in the main updates as we see them. In bonus videos, I will complete all difficulty levels of each mini game while completely and utterly not under the influence.
We're aiming to release 20-30 minute updates weekly. Our first episode is a whopping 40 minutes because of all the introductory material. Knowing what a lovey dovey hugbox SA is, we'll be dabbling into thread participation for our romantic choices in the near future.

If Something Awful and YouTube aren't enough, I'll also be posting LP updates on my twitter (@Dyslexiactic). You can also yell at my inabilities with Landon here.

Love Letters to Annabellastasia (Bonus content videos)

Petey Jacobs
Driven and cool, Petey might be just a little too much of a perfectionist for his own good.
He is probably the coolest guy in school, but he might be too shy to really use it.

Seth Stoddard
Sensitive and poetic, Seth is also depressed and angry. I think life hurt him and he just
needs to be shown a few of the good things in the world.

Chuck Majors
Confident and friendly, Chuck still manages to be awkward around girls. He comes across
as a big dumb jock, but he is hiding a softer side. I know it

Eugene Paparazzi
Shy and sweet, Eugene seems a little antisocial. I think he is just more comfortable with
his photos than the people in them, but I am sure the right girl could change that

Benny B
I am not sure if he is incredibly charming or just plain annoying. I mean, I like the guy, but
he doesn't do himself any favours with those stupid pranks.

Landon Teenbeard
Confident and self-aware, or is that arrogant and self-centred? I really don't know whether
he is putting on an act or if he really is that cool.

Emily
Kind, but sarcastic. She has a sharp mind, but a sharper tongue. Still, she knows everything
that's going on and she is usually friendly to me

Olivia
Quirky and happy, I think Olivia is more than she appears. She has her ditzy side, but I think
people underestimate her.

Abigail
Quiet and fashionable, Abigail is a hard one to get to know. I know she is on the Prom
Planning Committee, but she must be more than a clothes-horse.

Izzy
Athletic and driven, I don't think I have seen Izzy leave the Sports Hall much. She seems
friendly with Petey, but I don't think there is anything romantic between them.

Lucy
Loud in voice and appearance, I don't think Lucy cares what other people make of her.
She is a friend of Eugene, but I don't think there is anything between them.

Madison
Vain, self-centred and cruel and I think those are her best points! Still, she is Landon's
twin sister. If I want to get coos to him, I will just have to learn to deal with her...

Chelsea
Arrogant and vain, Chelsea must have some good qualities, but I am not sure what they are. I suppose I could say she is 'confident' and 'well-presented'
